- This Mother Refused to Accept Violence as Normal
Krystal Gonzalez, mother of Aaliyah, organized 'Aaliyah Day' in Glen Burnie to honor her daughter, who was killed in a 2020 mass shooting at a Brooklyn Day block party in Baltimore.

Gonzalez has become an advocate for change, focusing on addressing gun violence and policy missteps.
